Hawaiian Airlines
has appointed Gary McKoy to the company’s newly created position of senior manager – Pacific region.
In his new role, McKoy has direct oversight responsibility for Hawaiian’s entire flight operations
serving Sydney, Australia, Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Papeete, Tahiti. Hawaiian provides nonstop
flights between each destination and Honolulu.
“Gary is a prime example of Hawaiian recognizing a talented leader in the ranks and promoting
from within,” said Blaine Miyasato, Hawaiian’s vice president of customer services. “He excels at
customer service and perpetuating the spirit of Hawaii everywhere that Hawaiian flies.”
A 17-year employee of Hawaiian, McKoy most recently served as station manager of its Sydney
operations, a position he held since March 2005. He began his career at Hawaiian as a part-time customer
service agent in 1990 and became a flight attendant the following year. Since
then, he has taken on a wide range of challenging projects over the years that has provided him with extensive
above and below-wing
operational experience. Highlights include serving as project manager for the San Diego-Honolulu service
launch in 2001, development of the Boeing 767-300 onboard service program, and coordinating
ground handling services for Oakland Raiders’ charter flights on the
mainland and Military Airlift Command flights in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
McKoy is a 1983 graduate of North Carolina State University, earning his Bachelor of Science
degree in Agricultural Economics.
